by The U.S. lightning product market comprises a wide range of products that help maximize crop yields through effective water management. These products minimize wastage of water through precision irrigation and include drip irrigation systems, sprinklers, valves, controllers among others. Drip irrigation systems in particular help deliver water directly to plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. This method increases water efficiency by over 90% compared to other techniques like flood or spray irrigation.
The global U.S. lightning product market is estimated to be valued at US$ 255.7 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 18% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Key Trends:
One of the key trends witnessed in the U.S. lightning product market is the rising adoption of smart agriculture practices. Driven by the need for maximizing production amid limited arable land and water resources, farmers are increasingly integrating various smart technologies into their irrigation practices. Some of these technologies involve use of sensors, networking devices, cloud computing and control systems that help automate irrigation based on soil moisture levels and weather patterns. This significantly boosts efficiency and enables precision watering based on actual plant requirements. For instance, smart sensors can transmit real-time data on soil temperature and moisture to controllers which automatically adjust watering schedules. This contributes to higher yields while optimizing water and energy usage. The smart agriculture trend is expected to drive healthy growth of the U.S. lightning product market over the forecast period as producers seek to enhance productivity through advanced Irrigation methods.
